For dinner tonight, I made my children Chinese Beef Balls with a flavourful sauce made of hoisin and garlic. It’s delicious and healthy, because I baked it instead of frying it, and the flavour palate is out of this world, you guys.
Ingredients
- Half kilo of ground beef
- A third cup of bread crumbs
- One teaspoon of minced ginger
- One teaspoon of minced garlic
- One teaspoon of sesame oil
- One egg
For the sauce:
- Three tablespoons of hoisin sauce
- A quarter cup of rice vinegar
- Two tablespoons of soy sauce
- Two teaspoons of minced ginger
- One teaspoon of sesame oil
Directions
- Preheat your oven to about 200 degrees Centigrade.
- Make your meatballs by combining the ground beef, breadcrumbs, garlic, ginger, egg, and sesame oil. Mix together thoroughly.
- Line your baking sheet with wax paper (this was really helpful! I avoided getting the beef fat on the actual sheet with this!).
- Shape the beef into balls and line them along the baking sheet. Bake for about fifteen minutes, until the balls are nice and brown.
- Make your sauce while the balls are baking: combine all sauce ingredients.
- Once the balls are done, transfer them to a serving plate–you may experience some beef fat, so use tongs, and scrape the excess beef fat off each ball–and pour a little sauce over each ball.
- Serve hot with hot rice!
